Caving in to outcries that they represent the South’s racist past, Greg Fenves, the president of the University of Texas in Austin, announced on Thursday that the statue of Jefferson Davis will be removed from the campus’s Main Mall and moved to the school’s Dolph Briscoe Center for American History.
The statue of Woodrow Wilson was moved as well to “maintain symmetry on the mall.”

Ignorant
That is just plain b******t!!!
What the hell is wrong with people today?? Grow some balls already!!!
How sad
This is American history and to remove it is absolutely wrong ! Just because some people don’t like it doesn’t change the facts of history ! So you don’t like history you just remove it ? That is just plain wrong !
This is just wrong.
We cannot change our past, all we can do is change the future. Removing the monuments of our failures just hides the fact that we have learned from our failures. Get rid of every reminder of slavery, oppression and such, does not change the fact that those things occurred with the consent of our Government….
Fools
History is history….you can hide it, but you can’t obliterate it.
Stop messing with our history. Love them or hate they are still our history!
